The San Marcos Comprehensive Plan Oversight Committee voted to approve a recommendation resolution to forward a set of prioritized comprehensive-plan actions to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council, and separately adopted the consent agenda minutes from the July 24, 2025 meeting.

The committee adopted the minutes by voice vote after a motion by "Cody" and a second from "Kathy." Chair Robert Eby confirmed a quorum before the votes. The committee later took a formal roll-call vote to approve the recommendation resolution after debating and inserting several amendments, including language stressing the importance of public transit and connections to regional transit, naming major crossings for safer I-35 connections, and expanding the scope of a proposed fiscal-sustainability tool.

The approval of the recommendation resolution followed a series of amendments adopted by the committee. Amendments enacted during the meeting included:
- Adding explicit emphasis on public transit and regional transit connections under transportation priorities.
- Listing specific arterial crossings near I-35 (Wonder World, McCarty, Centerpoint, Aquarena, and Posey Road East) in the safe-crossings language.
- Expanding the fiscal-sustainability item to include utility capacity and utility rates and to study environmental and long-term budgetary outcomes.
- Clarifying housing language to stress affordability and the availability of diverse, adaptable housing across life stages.
- Directing staff to recommend regulatory incentives and sustainable site standards for city projects and to encourage conservation-style development that preserves or augments the city's greenways.

The motion to approve the recommendation resolution, including the adopted amendments, passed on a roll-call vote. Members recorded as voting "yes" in the final roll call included Sarah Simpson, Robert Eby and multiple other committee members as read by the clerk during the roll call. The resolution and the committee's edits will go forward to Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for their consideration.

The votes recorded during the meeting are part of the official minutes and staff packet that will accompany the resolution to the council.
